Summary

We all have a far greater range of behaviours at our disposal than we realise but we limit our life by using just 1/10th of our personality. The other 9/10ths of our tools for life lie dormant in our brain's toolbox. flex will show you how to start using them.

Flex Summary

Flex: Do Something Different by Ben

Imagine being able to handle any situation with ease. Arguing that our habits undermine our ability to rise to new challenges, this self-help guide demonstrates how a change in behavior can lead individuals to feel happier, less stressed, and more in control. Written by highly respected psychologists, the book takes a broad approach, allowing the flex technique to be applied to a variety of problems, including stress, alcoholism, addiction to smoking, and weight issues. Proposing a simple habit-breaking method, this guide is sure to interest anyone who wishes to get out of a behavioral rut.
